make your conservation so complete
that you will completely belong TO the
Lord Every time you testify for
Him you get stronger, and after
awhile will belong to Him."
The evangelist then told of friend
of his who was in the lumber business,
but who resolved to just give himself
and everything he possessed to the
Lord, and who did so, and finally
when his lumber interests became
involved and he had many trials,
among them the loss of his beloved
wife, said, "Cole, ] can stand 1T |
have Him.
"Oh," said the Major, what a bless
ed assurance, and DOW of you business
men who think religion will do well
enough for women but not for you,
let me tell you. you are making the
mistake of your entire lives. | know
of man who invested $500, which
he said was for the Lord and in less
than two years, he sold it for SD. 600.
Praise the Lord, of you love Him,
He will be your strength. All things
work together for them that love God.
Please do get hold of Him this morn
ing. If you do not confess what the
Lord has done for you, you will soon
have nothing to confess. There is
such a thing as dedicating yourself
to Him."
The speaker then went on to say
that it had been his own experience
to be physically weak and that
he had always gone provided with
medicines enough to found drug
store until at one time while attend
ing a certain church service where tes-
timOnies were being given, he had
asked what he should do for his physi-
cal ills and had finally just taken them
all to Him and had according to the
instructions in the book of James
been Amounted with oil. Since that
time he had not been slave to medi-
cine or physicians and had been ena-
kbled to toll INCREASINGLY. He had given
himself soul and body to the Lord,
and the Lord had carried him
through. In conclusion the evange-
list made a powerful plea to his hear
ers to come and place themselves be-
fore Christ no matter what there needs
were and remember that it was not it,
or it, or it, but Jesus who was every
thing and Jesus will fill the bill.
Prayers were offered by Rev.
Wilkins, Rev. McFarlane, Rev.
Davis and DIR. Bruner, aud several
came forward to the alter, after which
the meeting closed.
Rev. McFal lam preached in the
Calvary church every evening last
week and had large and atten-
tive audiences. His subject
for Friday evening was: "What
shall it profit a man if he
gain the whole world and lose his own
soul" and he handled it in a mastery
manner. His explanatory iIlustra-
tons were apt and to the point, his
logic convincing, and his appeals pow
erful and impressive. At the conclu-
sion of his remarks, quite a number,
among them DIR. Fleischman, DIR.
Carr, Jack Newton, and others went
forward and took the evangelist by
the hand with words of congratula-
ton for his very able effort.

Last night Major Cole, accompanied
by Rev. Jones, Mr.. Al raham Meyer,
and few others, went to the African

audience of colored people. The ser.

This was followed by very excellent
prayer by blind man named Wallace

And thereupon he strnck up
"Tis the old time religion"
1t was readily sung and was well
given. While the song was
being sung eight people
under conviction went to the
front. The evangelist again said,
